1892
No. 413 is built as a rental house in William O'Gorman's 1892 row on East 139th Street
No. 413 went up in 1892 as one of fifty-one single-family brick houses built for rent by William O'Gorman and Hermann Stursberg between Willis and Brook avenues. The eastern houses of the row, Nos. 449 to 503, were torn down in the 1960s for P.S. 40 and its playground, leaving No. 413 among the twenty-two that survive.

No. 413 shows the row's carved round-headed double doors
The 1994 landmark report names No. 413 as one of the houses where the row's entrance design can be seen: a pair of round-headed paneled wood doors with fan-shaped carved foliage above the bottom panels. The rest of the front follows O'Gorman's neo-Grec pattern of Philadelphia brick, incised stone lintels and a bracketed metal cornice.
